Logstash different .conf inputs are mixing up entries in indexes

[karo]

Before I go on, I have tried to look through the interwebs for an answer, I scoured the forums posts so much I feel I know the elk staff member names by heart (not really).

I do apologise if my insufficient research skills have failed me and I am now creating a duplicate post.

I have two configs in logstash: dev.conf, prod.conf
dev.conf:

input {
	beats {
		port => 28777
		codec=>"json"
	}
}

filter {
	date {
		match => ["timestamp", "ISO8601"]
		target => "@timestamp"
	}
}


output {
	elasticsearch {
		index => "dev-log-index-1"
		hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
	}
}

prod.conf:

input {
	beats {
		port => 28000
		codec=>"json"
	        ssl => true
		ssl_certificate => "/etc/logstash/logstash.crt"
		ssl_key => "/etc/logstash/logstash.key"
		ssl_verify_mode => "force_peer"
		ssl_certificate_authorities => ["/etc/logstash/ca.crt"]
	}
}

filter {
	date {
		match => ["timestamp", "ISO8601"]
		 target => "@timestamp"
	}
}

output {

	elasticsearch {
		index => "prod-log-index-1"
		hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
	}
}`

I chose to separate the logs for different environments as such, although I find entries from dev-log-index-1 being attached to prod-log-index-1 and vice versa. As a result I am not able to see prod only or dev only logs under the corresponding kibana index pattern, even though these configs specify separate input ports and indexes.

You need to use Multiple Pipelines, if you just create different .conf files and put them in the conf.d directory without changing the pipelines.yml file, they are treated as a unique pipeline.

You need something like this in your pipeline.yml

- pipeline.id: dev
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/dev.conf"
- pipeline.id: prod
  path.config: "/etc/logstash/conf.d/prod.conf"
